#ElonMusk ridiculed a blind person on X. Then the mob went to work.

Dylan Hedtler-Gaudette works at the Project on Government Oversight, a nonpartisan watchdog group focused on reducing bureaucratic waste. He also happens to be blind. So when he criticized Musk’s US #DOGE Service in testimony on Capitol Hill last week, #Musk unleashed an online attack Hedtler-Gaudette described as “surreal” in its #juvenile #bigotry.

The Washington Post · Elon Musk ridiculed a blind person on X. Then a mob went to work.By Pranshu Verma

Divers pull off dramatic #whalerescue, it was 'anchored to the ocean floor' at Iluka off #NSW North Coast.

A #juvenile #humpback #whale was rescued after it was pinned to the ocean floor by a wire cable off the New South Wales coast for up to eight days.

The eight-metre long humpback was trapped in fishing trawler cabling about half a kilometre off #Iluka Bluff.

Heavy seas made the rescue mission perilous for trained divers.

The whale is expected to continue its northerly migration, but it may not survive.

Ask Me synchronicity ... 18 years later

In 2006, ninazer0 asked for help identifying three works of English juvenile historical fiction, later finding the answer to one of the mystery texts.

In 2024, tangerine asked about mid-century kids' historical fiction about the Hanseatic League, and paduasoy's suggestion was not the author OP was looking for -- but it did resolve the remaining earlier mystery! Then melisande added more info for the earlier question. Delightful!
